It Seems to Be a Fight Between the
Porter and Sabin
Forces.

Northwestern Car company's property
at Saltwater unless unforeseen impedi-
ments develop between now and the
time of sale. III. III. Porter, with an ar
ray of capitalists and lawyers, who have
been here for the past two days, is very
reticent in abiding to the coming Sahe.
Senator Sabin and his many friends are
also not disposed to say very much.
One of the attorneys interested In Re-
ceiver Browns behalf, j. N. Castle, said
yesterday that he was not free to say
anything about the matter, but, says he.
do you think man like III. III. Porter
and man like Andrew Crawford, who,
in addition to his own great wealth, is
the Western financial agent of DreXel,
Morgan u Co., and comes here not only
for himself but for DreXel, Morgan Il
Co., have come to Saltwater for their
health? They simply mean business,
and that is all have got to say" j. G.
O'Gorman, who knows the whole affair
and knows of the Sabin part of the plan,
would say but little, but did remark that
there was nothing that he had to say in
reference to what the threSher COM
pany would do. that he knew of. He
said he understood that the threSher
buy the car cOmpany'S plant, and he eX-
poets they will bid high enough to get
1t, unless the price is carried beyond its
evident worth.
